Anyone Elses DH getting frustrated with LO?

He has a hard time calming him down and won't let me help. It's a vicious cycle of baby crying then dad getting frustrated then baby crying harder and on and on. It's so hard to watch and I end up praying that LO will fall asleep before he gets home from work.

Mine was but has FINALLY started asking me for help on how to soothe our son. It took a few arguments for him to finally ask. I had to explain that yes a lot of this is easy for me since I have been around lots of babies but that I have also been around our son 24/7 for a month now to read our son's cues. Hopefully your's will get to the point to ask for help. Just keep praying your hubby will ask for help.

My LO cries every time he talks to her and won't smile or even look at him. He swears she doesn't like him and I feel terrible. He gets frustrated with her when she cries but doesn't say much. He is generally a loud Italian man though and I think that's why LO doesn't really like him yet. Poor guy lol

Yes I started seeing my DH frustration and I left the house because it was just frustrating me and it would lead to us arguing because i don't want my baby around that! My DH has a bad temper and he would start gettin loud telling her to stop as if she was a teen to understand! I'm at my dads now and he comes to visit everyday but nothin has changed when she starts crying while he is holdin we he freaks out and swears she hates him it's so sad to watch but I think baby can feel his frustration wich makes her cry louder

My husband!!! Its so annoying bc this is our 2nd baby so he knows what to expect. Lo doesnt even cry, EVER, she just wakes up to eat at night & he is responsible for getting up @ least once. He cant ever get her back to sleep & i think its bc hd never holds her...hardly ever.

dealing with the same situation. husband gets so frustrated with lo. but I think it's also that he can't placate her with a breast like I can. he wants things perfect allthe time and has a temper. but it really upsets him to get thatway.

This was my dh last night! He has been offering to stay up with lo sovi could get some sleep. I finally pumped enough for him to do this last night. He gave longer first bottle which went well. He had a lot of trouble trying to get her to sleep. He kept huffing and puffing while being frustrated with her. He was determined to do it alone so I let him but it almost drove me crazy in the process!

My husband always jokes that the kids are mine till about 18 months then I turn them over to him:). He holds and cuddle the baby, but anything beyond that is basically my responsibility right now. I don't mind , he can't really fix a hungry baby with a boob like I can !

I had to march into the living room and take the baby away one night when he was "helping" because his raised voice and the sound of him loudly burping LO (way too hard) in frustration woke me up. He came in and apologized and I was sitting there hold my sweet baby and crying. All I could say was, "you SHOULD be sorry." What is it with these men???
